Seltman to presi- dent of the Son D,eg By Mike h.c,non Tribune Staff Writer Union, said that the people have a right to know the operation of the courts and that most of the testimo- ny to be discussed in hearings on pre- trial motions had already been pub- lished. Said Orfield: "There hasn't been any showing that anything new will be presented other than that that was presented at the preliminary hear- ing. There has not been demonstrat- ed any prejudice in the publicity." Lucas is scheduled for trial Feb. 11 on charges of murdering Swanke, who was last seen alive Nov. 20, 1984, carrying a can of gasolinP. t
A judge bas refused to exclude the public from hearings on motions pre- ceding David Allen Lucas' two mur- der trials. Superior Court Judge Franklin B. Orfield yesterday denied the request of Alex Landon, who represents Lucas, 30, in one of the cases, to bar the public, including the press, on grounds that admitting reporters could lead to prejudicial publicity. The hearings are expected to take at least a month. "We would be naive not to realize that the press has a money motive," Landon argued. "They want to sell newspapers. I question what educa- tional motive there is in saying that Mr. Lucas is a killer of babies, stress ing the age of the victims.'' Landon said 86 percent of county residents polled associated the name of Lucas with the killing in 1984 of University of San Di~o student Anne Catherine Swanke, 2 . "True, the poll said 48 percent had not expressed an opinion that he was guilty, but Mr. Lucas is entitled to a jury panel on which 100 percent think he is innocent until proven guilty," Landon argued.

B 1 "University of San Diego to feature semester-long peace drive to educate its students ;;..r ?'( :JAN 8 1986 Before the committee decided on a peace curriculum, Anderson and professors Dennis Briscoe and George Bryjack surveyed faculty and students to determine what social issues were examined in class and what issues students were interested in learning about. The student survey revealed that their knowledge of world problems, such as poverty and foreign aid, was extremely low. Students, it showed, were more interested in learning about drug abuse, college funding and capital punishment than in the nuclear arms race, human rights and apartheid. "A lot of our students are caring people," Anderson said, "but they come from sheltc•ed backgrounds and are not aware of what's going on in the Third World." The faculty survey indicated one- fourth of them have incorporated peace issues in the classroom. O'Hearn said the Associated Students does not envision student peace marches. "Students today have a different way of dealing with issues- different from the Sixties." ln contrast, McKay said the campus ministry is considering organizing a peace march, perhaps to coincide with the Soviet Union's annual Mayday military parade. The Univcrs1~San Diego's spring semester wiTI be devoted to a campus- wide . peace movem,ent, a far-reaching, ambitious effort to instill a commitment to pea~ the hearts and minds of students, Students, faculty, administrators and campus ministry pl,m to take part in the semester-long movement. Undergrad- uate peace-themed courses, nighttime faculty forums open to the public, guest speakers, liturgies and other events arc scheduled. Moreover, faculty arc being encouraged to incorporate the peace theme in cla s wherever possible. The idea for a peace curriculum started with Sister Sally Furay, USO provost and vi<.:e pre 'den . In 1984, he established a Social Issues Committee, providing students with "a basis for reflection and critical judgement on contemporary social and moral issues ... n According to plans, each semester will carry a different social justice theme. Pea e 1s first Jorn Anders n, a business professor, chairs the committee, made up of faculty from each of the university's five schools, student body president Shawn O'Hearn, Father Mike McKay (ministry director), tp Wal h ( s1stant Jean/ Jirc:uor), and Furay. Jl./fm'1 P. C. 8 F ,--- UCAN, the Utility Consum- ers' Action Network, will begin an active campaign to compel SDG&E to comply with the orders issued by the Public Uti- lities Commission in its historic $137 million dollar rate de- crease decision. Michael Shames, executive director of the San Diego con- sumer group, said at a recent press conference that SDG&E has been criticized by the PUC for poor operations productiv- ity, imprudent and inexperi- enced contract negotiations, unacceptable implementation of conservation programs and inferior load management per- formance. These criticisms led to the PUC's adoption of UCAN's recommendation to penalize SDG&E for the mis- handling of a number of energy purchase contracts. UCAN's announced agenda covers three points: • Review ofcontracts entered into by SDG&E and monitor SDG&E's operations for effi- ciency improvement. • Review the handling of cus- tomer complaints to make sure that SDG&E improves its re- sponsiveness to those com- plants. • Research future rate de- signs to avoid an impending "industral flight" crisis that will force rates back up in five years. "The PUC made it very clear that SDG&E must begin to per- form at the level of other Cali- fornia utilities; that 'business as usual' is no longer accept- able." Shames said at the after- noon press conference. Shames said UCAN needs to apply dili- gent monitoring of SDG&E op- erations and aggressive anti- cipation of future problems in order to prevent Sa~ Diego from "becoming owned and operated by SDG&E again." UCAN will continue to devote energy opposing SDG&E's announced move to form sub- sidiary companies in non - utility industries, such as real estate, telecommunications and cnmputers, Shames said. However, he pointed out that in light of the PUC's clear orders to clean up the SDG&E operations, UCAN wiiI devote more time to monitoring SDG&E's complianc'e and to assisting individuals who have problems with SDG&E. "We have to be more aggressive in the San Diego community," Shames said. UCAN's board president, Alan Razovsky introduced three newly appointed board members at the press confer- ence. The appointed members were Frank Denison, 48, a non - profit organization attorney from Leucadia, Robert L. Sim- mons, 58, a law professor at the University of San Diego and a San Carlos resident, and Wayne Kohagen, 64, a retired Marine officer living in La Mesa who served on the La Mesa city plan- ning commission. • -- ~eucadt man named to ut1l1ty board ?-t '7 \ttorney rank Denison second representing migrant rarm workers and opposing utility ocal member of UCAN directors ~~:~~~;!~s::d th eir proposed LEUCADIA - Leucadia at- • • / Also new to the UCAN board are Robert L.
